Ok so yesterday I noticed my zook has a vibration that gets reasonably noticeable to me at around 80km/h. I got my wheels balanced today (they were way out, one my 90grams!!) but it wasnt the source. I dont drive it often but I did put some 2" OME springs in 2 nights ago and I reckon it started then. The tyre guy suggested it could be tread pattern and I never noticed till now because I have new, stiffer shocks. I'm only running BFG 235/75/15 A/T's, so I dont think so. I'm thinking its the extra uni angle with the increased lift and maybe the fact it got a flogging for 3hrs on a dyno yesterday. I'm guessing the uni's are running on a spot they previously didnt get to? Is this common and is it likely to fail soon, because I'm taking it on a trip tomorrow, but I'm a feather foot. Any other ideas guys?? Cheers PS. I have a 2" T/case lift also. |

Are they a hard fix? I mean I've got no time to do them before I leave but if I got a couple could I change them pretty easy when I get to where I'm going? |

you'll need a press to change your uni's. the extra vibrations can be terrible on your drivetrain, when my uni's went it blew front and rear pinion seals. |

you will need to press them out, but a brass punch will get them in, just make sure when your done doing uni's to tap the shaft while it's laying on the ground to release a bit of the uneven pressure off the needle bearings, it only gets these strains because it's being all pressed together nice and firm.... |

Definantly don't need a press to get them out.. Also what angle are your uni joints at, if they run straight it can cause bad vibes They have to run at atleast a small angle |

Definantly don't need a press to get them out.. Yeah, never needed a press for uni's before. Shit, you can even change them on the side of the road with a few basic tools if your really stuck. |
